1:39:27
[Dan] Believe me, we're
as excited as you are.
1:39:30
- Dan ? I gotta talk to you.
- Yeah ?
1:39:32
He'll be there. Bye. I gotta
talk to you too. That was Nike.
1:39:35
They're gonna announce to the trades
that we won the account.
1:39:38
I gotta hand it to you. You saved
my ass. You saved the company's ass.
1:39:42
Actually, Dan, I had very little
to do with saving anybody's ass.
1:39:45
It's Darcy you should be thanking,
that's what I want to talk about.
1:39:47
Darcy ? Please. I was there.
The girl didn't open her mouth.
1:39:51
Look, I'm a big enough man
to admit when I screw up.
1:39:54
I looked at the marketplace
and I panicked.
1:39:56
Nick, forgive me.
I want you to step in here.
1:40:00
No, no, no, no. Dan, you did
the right thing when you hired her.
1:40:02
I mean, she is the best creative
director I have ever seen, bar none.
1:40:06
- This isn't about-- She's adorable.
- Oh, yeah, she is.
1:40:10
- But this isn't about that ?
- No, no. Not like that. No, no.
1:40:12
Please. Look.
1:40:15
I've been doing
a lot of listening lately.
1:40:18
And I've decided...
I need to take a leave of absence.
1:40:21
I need to get away from here
and get some perspective on things.
1:40:23
What are you, nuts ? What is this ?
What do you mean ?
1:40:26
This is the biggest account
this company has ever landed.
1:40:29
Do you want me to have
nobody running the shop ?
1:40:31
What are you talking about ?
Darcy's here.
1:40:33
For somebody who listens a lot,
you don't hear so well.
1:40:36
I had a meeting with her today.
I sat her down.
1:40:38
- We had a talk.
- Oh, Dan ! You didn't.
1:40:41
- Tell me you didn't fire her.
- She didn't even put up a fight.
1:40:44
- Oh, Dan, no !
- Hey, she's gone, pal.
1:40:46
No, no. It's not too late.
Look, call her.
1:40:48
Tell her you need her back,
you made a mistake. Hire her back.
1:40:50
- Hey, calm down. I can't do that.
- Why ?
1:40:53
Because I talked to the board and I
told them I don't need her anymore.
1:40:56
- Oh !
- They offered her a settlement.
1:40:59
Besides, Nike says they want you.
You're what they bought.
